Note wise, this tab should sound just like the song, though you may play some parts
in another fret and string. They should all be the same notes in the end anyway.
If you happen to spot a typo in the fretting, please let me know in the comments section
or e-mail me about it. I’ll get it fixed. Enjoy this easy to learn song. :)

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
time is never worth my time
blue shine bleeds into my eyes
i still sleep on the right side
but the white noise can't leave the scene behind
[Pre-Chorus 1]
could i be anything you want me to be
if so is it meant to be seen
[Chorus]
when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
can you fall asleep with a panic switch
when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
do you think she'll sleep with a panic...
[Verse 2]
i'll try to hold on tight tonight
pink slip inviting me inside
want to burn skin and brand what once was mine
but the red views keep ripping the divide
[Pre-Chorus 2]
if i go everywhere you want me to go
how will i know you'll still follow
[Solo Section]
movements are made slow motion in frame
i'm waiting and fading and floating away
the curtains are torn and the setting decayed
i'm waiting and fading and floating...
i'm waiting and fading and floating away
i'm waiting and fading and floating away
i'm waiting and fading and floating away
waiting and fading
waiting and fading

You can get by this song without any slides, hammers and stuff like that.
Honestly, I didn’t notice any while learning this song on my own,
but I use a slide or two every now and then by instinct, to spice it up a little.
Here is the notation anyway:
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note
